Strange Days

Well...uh...more bleak college football news rolling in.
Still, let's focus on the pay out.

I'm thinking August 15th, the latest possible date.
I think the last time we did this we had Lucy Townsend's outfit cater. Basically Lucy did it herself. And it was awesome.
Need some input from the group about what they feel comfortable with.
Do you guys feel comfortable getting together? Denise and I do. I know McLovin is in. We can sort of distance, have families sit together. Work out something with the serving of the food. Wear HazMat suits. Bottled oxygen.
Open to suggestion.

The BRFL must Represent

Your Commissioner is very skeptical that we will be seeing college football this fall. At all. If we do see it, then brace yourself for something weird. The stands are going to look like, well, I guess a Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.



There will be a fan "sound track" for those nail biting 4th and goal plays. About half the band at the game. I mean, my God, they're talking about socially distancing Script Ohio. See how I didn't put quotation marks around socially distancing? That's because I've become so accustomed to this jack-ass phrase. And that's pretty alarming all by itself. Socially distancing is now a ridiculous verb that is just sort of accepted.

From a gambling standpoint, uh...wow.

You could pick Clemson or Ohio State and they could run the table for five games and look like world beaters and then BOOM Covid 19 hit's the campus hard and your #1, 2 and 3 running backs are in the ICU, your D line is wearing portable oxygen, your coach is on the ventilator. Do we really want to make the person who picks Clemson start 10 points in the hole? It's all so confusing.
Still.
Here we are.
And the BRFL must Represent.
I'm tilling the soil and preparing for our usual blow out pay out. Not that I'm ignoring "these difficult times" but let's look at all the things we, the BRFL membership, have going for us;

Plenty of parking in Cooperstown in high summer. (Fuck you, Derek Jeter).
A ridiculous number of sunny days thus far.
Our first female Champion of Champions.
Masks! Get creative. Or not.
For once we get to brag about 1) living in NYState and 2) our Governor. These are special times.
This year's draft is already the Story of the Year. NY State has the absolute lowest virus transmission rate in the country. Could this be the University of Buffalo's year? Would Rutgers be a crazy pick? Would it? U Conn? Yale? Boola boola!

I'm looking at August 1 or August 15, whichever is worse for Snottie.
No rule changes. Including Bet The Ranch.

If the season gets cancelled I'll mix up some Kool Aid and we can all drink it together at the same time.
If the season starts and gets cancelled the winner is whoever is ahead at the time.
If the season gets suspended we put the BRFL on pause until it resumes.

Personally, I'm pretty jacked.
